'Felt Like a Kidnap': Sonam Wangchuk, Dr Gitanjali J Angmo Detail Horrors in Jail, Attacks by Govt
In a wide-ranging conversation on Badi Badi Baatein, environmentalist and education reformer Sonam Wangchuk and educator Dr Gitanjali J Angmo opened up about their arrest, detention, legal battle and the larger questions surrounding democracy, justice and state power in India. Wangchuk reflected on his time in Jodhpur jail, saying imprisonment for a cause should not deter citizens from standing up for what they believe in. Both sharply criticised the use of NSA and alleged misuse of state machinery, claiming they faced surveillance, ED, CBI, IT and FCRA actions during the crackdown linked to the Ladakh protests.Dr Angmo described the legal fight as “unequal”, arguing that the revocation of Wangchuk’s detention prevented a landmark judicial precedent on wrongful detentions. The duo also spoke about media narratives, allegations of being branded “anti-national”, the emotional and personal toll of the past year, and why they still believe systemic change must come through education and public consciousness.From exposing misinformation to delivering impactful human rights reporting, our newsroom has relentlessly pursued stories that drive change. We remain committed to asking the tough questions — and we'd love for you to be a part of our journey.
